From fixing the problem to becoming the problem

I saw the first graphic and immediately thought: good concept, but incomplete.

“Money Has Different Names” is true—but money has far more names than the original 13 examples suggest, and some of those examples needed more context or correction.

So, I worked with ChatGPT to rethink it.

The revised version expands the list from 13 to 30, adds commonly used terms such as tuition, interest, commission, revenue, rent, severance, grants, royalties, and investment returns, and clarifies terms that depend on the situation.

Same basic idea. Better information. More context. More accuracy.

Sometimes the best use of AI isn’t creating something from scratch. It’s asking, “What’s missing, what’s inaccurate, and how can this be better?” There are certainly additional terms that could be added, but the goal wasn’t to capture every possibility—it was to make a good idea more accurate, comprehensive, and useful.

When the voice of reason is eliminated, consequences follow.

Earlier this week, my youngest daughter and I dined at Houston’s Breakfast Klub. We had to wait in line outside—and the line never stopped. What a great problem to have as a business!!!

The model is similar to a lot of restaurants where you order at the counter, but what caught my attention was how they manage the wait. Two employees are dedicated to managing the line and customer flow. One is outside giving instructions, encouraging customers to scan the menu while they wait, and making sure everyone knows what to expect. There are even water stations outside for waiting customers.

At the front of the line, another employee controls entry, admitting customers as space becomes available. By the time you get inside, you know what you want, you’re ready to order, and the line keeps moving.

A long line can frustrate customers—or it can signal demand while still creating a positive customer experience. The difference is how you manage it. Part of a family of businesses, The Breakfast Klub clearly understands that the customer experience starts before you walk through the door.

Education has always been the cornerstone of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. When our Seven Illustrious Founders established our organization in 1922 at Butler University, they were educators dedicated to raising academic standards and empowering future generations. Among them was Founder Vivian Irene White Marbury, whose distinguished career included serving as Director of Practice Training for student teachers at Morehouse College.

Following in her footsteps, four distinguished Sigma Gamma Rho members have served as educators and leaders at Morehouse College, leaving an enduring impact on one of the nation’s premier HBCUs:

💙 Dr. Tarin Toletha Dumas Hampton — Championed health, physical education, and dance at Morehouse before continuing her distinguished career in exercise science and dance leadership. She is a Butler University graduate.

💙 Dr. Vickie Cox Edmondson — Advanced academic excellence and student success during an eight-year tenure as Professor of Management and as Morehouse College’s inaugural Associate Provost for Student Success.

💙 Dr. SherRhonda Gibbs — Led strategic growth for business students as the first woman to serve as Dean of the Division of Business and Economics at Morehouse College before becoming President of Texas College.

💙 Dr. Cassandra Wells — Shaped the next generation of marketing and sales leaders during more than two decades as an Associate Professor and Academic Program Director.
